Case presentation: Twenty-two-year-old woman admitted to intensive care unit with acute decompensated heart failure. The transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance. The left-sided atrioventricular valve, in this case, the tricuspid valve, showed apical displacement of the septal valve suggesting Ebstein’s anomaly. The computed tomography corroborated these findings and additionally showed a left superior vena cava and an abnormal origin of the coronary arteries. The patient is in NYHA functional class II, receiving treatment with diuretic, digitalis, beta-blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Conclusion: This is a very interesting case of an adult in the third decade of life with cc-TGA associated with abnormalities not described in the literature that had reached adulthood. Noninvasive images play an important role in its diagnosis.展开更多
